About This Home

This spacious Georgian has been well-maintained and lovingly updated by the same owners for over 30 years. The main level features a classic layout with a bright living room, separate dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a powder room with a new vanity. Off the dining room, a screened-in porch is perfect for dining or relaxing while overlooking the backyard. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with a newer vanity. The finished basement offers flexible space for an office, den, or rec room, along with a large laundry/mechanicals room and plenty of storage (plus newer overhead sewer). Set back from Ridge Road on a deep 195' lot, the home features a long side drive with a convenient turnaround leading to a 2-car garage. Surrounded by mature trees, the setting offers privacy and shade-all just blocks from the South Blvd train, beach, lake, and Main Street shops.
